Yay! Disthread!

Thanks for the quest, first off. I think it's amazing, in terms of artwork. But you've heard that from everyone already, obviously.

What I want to talk about is Cherub Safety Scouts. I'm wondering just what is their overall 'course' work, if you have stuff like THIS to choose from. I think we have an exciting time ahead of us, full of safety and caution!


...in all seriousness, though, holy shit our little leading lady is kind of a beast and I've been headcanoning SO much for her it's insane. I'm really hoping at least one bit of said headcanon comes true.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite quest on TGchan.

>>130438
>>130441
Thanks y'all, The Cherub scouts do normal camp activities while learning about first aid/rescue with hands on experience with the CCPD. (which in turn is like the rescue heroes of this world)

>>130454
Wait, like the TV series? Ha.

Also, I'm just going to come out and say it because I really want to get it off my chest; obviously you don't have to say anything towards it QM, since the mystery can be hella fun, too:

I honestly think our Scout girl is more than she appears. Aside from the no-selling an electric shock thing, which theoretically could be just explained away as for the sake of a joke, what really makes me believe this is her no-selling rat bites. Here's the thing. Mouse/Rat bites FUCKING HURT if they're trying to actively injure. Those little assholes can pierce through some metals. It's like feeling a thick needle in your skin. (Speaking from experience.) Breaking the skin and causing severe pain on a pre-teen kid should be a matter of a split second. But while there was a bit of blood, how was it described? As being 'pinched and prodded'. I'm a grown ass man and I've yelled in shock and pain from a rat bite, a kid should be crying for the sweet release of death at ONE, let alone MULTIPLE. And yet our girl just seemed to consider it a minor annoyance at worse that maaaybe could escalate.

I'm not sure what she is, but I have my suspicions she's not baseline human.

And don't think I haven't noticed the 'kill.gif' name for the second time. Same facial expression, too. Like something dark and violent is bubbling just below the surface when she has something or someone at her mercy, and she's only holding it back by our say so...

>>130458
She's just a normal girl biologically speaking.

>>130542
Awwww.

>>130542
Yaaaaay!

>>130542
What about the spherical hair bones?

>>130555
You don't have hair bones?

update is gonna take a lil longer than usual cause I'm trying something new.

>>130696

No worries, dude. Your quest is outstanding!

>>130615
Doesn't Marzipan (Homestar Runner) have hair-bones? I know she does in one of the oldie cartoons. Also a dress-shaped body.

That is a caring mother. I approve.

So, y'all think Bonnie'll need therapy after a night like that?

Not now, but once her mom gets here...

This is going to end hilariously yet horribly.

>>130884
You say that as if this is the first time it's happened. Given her nonchalant reaction to her mom screaming at the top of her lungs about her daughter being hurt I'd say it's happened before and she's used to it.

Since the mad science isn't regulated effectively, is that because (A) government over-regulations forced all the big thinkers to take unethical sides between harmless and extra-intentional harmful, or (B) lots of feuding factions simply chose mad science as their arms race and it got out of hand?

>>130432
i just wanted to pop in say that this quest is quite rad. very spicy, looking forward to the rest of it

>>131594
I'm not sure if you're trying to say there's a lot of quests you don't like or that Safety First should update more often but neither of those are really things you should be doing. Running a quest is a non-trivial time commitment!

>>131598
I was saying I like Safety First.

Fuck life, family, responsibilities, more quest updates! NAO!

>>131710

>>131720

agreed.

Normal little girl MY REAR END.

So. Bonnie is definitely her mother's daughter. That aside, why rats? Psychic rats, specifically?

>>132537
When you want to try something out on humans you usually start testing it on animals, no?

>>132552
>>132537
You're right we've already seen some effects of the human testing

So, do we still have control of Bonnie, or is this the Rat Boss in control, or are we synchronized? I'm just trying to figure out why her eyes are red.

>>132855
Yes to all the above, we're still in control but Rathoney is trying to hijack us.

also note that when we control Bonnie or Rathoney we refer to ourselves as We/Us but when we controlled Rose she refereed to herself as I/Me

Okay, for the cheap seats-

Is it Rat-honey
Rath-oney
or
Rat-tony?

>>133041
>Rat-tony
Rat Tony sounds like the least trustworthy mobster ever.

>>133048
he is.

I've been saying Rath-oney myself

>>133052
>>133041
i think Rath-oney is the proper way.

https://strawpoll.com/bzh8yhbc

I made a poll for it

>>133142
Voted, but I'd also like to add a caveat that I'd only want it if it was VERY temporary. There's been several quests I used to like that have gotten mired in alternate viewpoints or backstory for the better part of like...a year. Hate that.

>>133143
I couldn't agree more with your opinion

I am forced to admit SapphireQuest would be fun.

Starting to wonder if monster strength just runs in the family. I kinda find it hilarious that this girl who can shrug off rat bites like literally nothing and can punch through walls gets her back cracked by her mother's hugs. Just shows how insane they both are in terms of strength.

Will be interesting to see how this stat allotment affects future fights.

I'm going to try to give the quick rundown on hazards and what not, feel free to ask any questions if I leave something vague or w/e.

Hazards are essentially super powers of this world, They are not uncommon but they all come with a downside. For example Rose's where she can look into the future but suffers nausea afterwards.

Every hazard person has increased stats making them semi super human in that regard, but also has attributes that suffer as a detriment.

The naming convention for hazards all follow Diseases/Injuries/Disorders etc. Not because the person has that disease but because their hazard is similar in appearance or functionality to that thing.

>>133783
What a nice picture of Rose.

>>133784
thanks

I assume equipment is next after this part? I'm guessing that how that works is that everything equipped to Bonnie and Rose will provide situational stat-boosts (such as special boots increasing AGI when navigating sloshed terrain, night-vision goggles boosting PER in the dark, or Rose's extinguisher hammer applying its compression impact to add oomph to melee attacks as though she had an additional rank of STR).

What are some things that you guys enjoy about safety first? and what are some things that you think could be improved on?

>>133869
Thanks dude.

>>133870
I enjoy the apparently somewhat amoral setting, the way you write fun kids, and the dynamic everyone has with each other. great characters that play well off each other are a must for quest content and I'm ESPECIALLY interested to find out exactly how much dirty biz mommy dearest used to get up to and why she left.

as for things to improve, it feels like we've been in the prologue for a while. more likely that's because of the update stagger than an actual pacing issue, but I would like to get into some more action soon, and not of the "internal organizational strife" variety!

in short: LET DEM KIDDOS DO SOME BIG MURDERS BRAH, SATE MINE BLOODLUST

With the understanding that males are not safety scouts, do they exist and will they ever show up in the setting?

>>133872
I agree hopefully we can get to some action soon.
>>133874
Yes in fact they are part of the organization as well. One of my goals of this new thread is to introduce some male characters, into the mix.

>>133870
There's a lot I like, and very little I don't. I love the artwork, the pacing (that is, the storytelling pace, not the update pace because WANT MOAR), the setting, all that. About the only thing I don't like is, as stated, the update pace, but that'd be kinda unfair to blame you, IMO.

>>133872
We've had opportunities to kill before, but I just don't think we've had good opportunities or real desires to. Do I think we'll end up in a no-kill run? No, but I would prefer to leave da murda to incredibly vile individuals, not rats looking to escape from a torturous lab or a dim muscle idiot who's probably not that evil at heart.

I for one intend to play Bonnie as wholly chaotic stupid good, with a childlike innocence and desire to do the right thing coupled with a complete and total lack of planning or foresight.

Hopefully, watching the collateral damage amount soar will be seen as a feature not a bug.

>>133881

>>134378
I'm not remotely joking- you need to PITCH THIS AS AN ANIMATED SERIES. You have the concept art. Write up a quick series bible and start shopping this thing around. It's too good to just leave be. Or I dunno, try to get it crowdfunded and maybe do a short episode...and then use THAT.

You've got something special here, I'd love to see it expanded.

>>134386
calm down there sparky, takes a lot more than that to get an animated series going haha

there's definitely some interesting stuff here, but getting scripts and storyboards together for a pilot is a hell of an investment, not to mention comprehensive character sheets, background notes, etc.

don't take this as dicking on the idea, I'd watch it for damn sure, but the workload is typically pretty nuts

>>134390
Oh, I know- I've actually taken a crack at it before and did some minor work for an animation studio a couple years back. I'm just saying I think there's enough good stuff here that something could happen.

>>134386
Thanks I'm not sure i have the animation chops just yet to do something like that tho. A lot of the stuff in the quest i'm learning to animate for the first time.

I feel like Gully and Bonnie would probably be instant best friends if they met up.

>>134520
Punch is the best power, she looks cool.

Engage:
Light ATK - a quick attack that does small dmg

Heavy ATK - a slow hard hitting attack, makes you move at half speed

Protect:

Defend - Block

First Aid- Heal


Bonnie:
All bonnie’s moves that make contact cause extra shock dmg

Backup - Summon someone to help for a turn
Rose - Rose comes to deal a heavy blow and inflict burning on enemies
Rathoney - Rathoney summons a bunch of rats to do rat things

Scarlett:


Poison - Poisons an enemy to deal damage overtime, deals very little immediate damage..

Lethal injection - Marks an enemy slowing them and causing them to take extra damage from any attacks for a short while.

Vaccinate- Heal any status ailments on a target.

Uh, I'm guessing the Bonnie and Scarlett sections there are for skills that each character has, and Engage/Protect are universal actions that everyone has.
Which means the update picture has Poison listed in the wrong spot.

>>134522
Its for everyone's unique abilities or skills ehere poison is unique to Scarlett

Everything still okay? Hoping it's just been a bit of a work delay.

Is this quest dead? That's unfortunate. I really liked it.
